Maintenance Tips
-
Handle gently; avoid dropping or applying excessive force.
-
Clean after each use with approved ultrasound cleaners; avoid harsh chemicals.
-
Follow manufacturer’s disinfection guidelines; never submerge the connector.
-
Inspect cable and probe housing regularly for cracks, frays, or wear.
-
Store in a padded holder, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
-
Coil the cable loosely to prevent internal damage.
-
Allow probe to reach room temperature before scanning to avoid condensation.
-
Disconnect by gripping the connector, not the cable.
